Before you start

  • Bring a medium saucepan filled with salted water to the boil

Simmer simmer

  • Heat the large frying pan with 1 tbsp oil on high heat. Once hot, add the prawns and cook for 4 mins, until turning pink
  • Add the pak choi, garlic and spring onions and cook for another 2 mins, until the veg is soft and the prawns are cooked through
  • Add 100ml water (50ml for 1 person), the gochujang, honey, ginger & garlic paste, lime zest and half the tamari and simmer for 2-3 mins, until the veg is soft and the prawns are cooked through
  • Add the gnocchi and the juice from 1 lime wedge. Stir to coat

Assemble the salad

  • In the medium bowl, combine the cucumber, radish, the juice from 1 lime wedge, the remaining tamari, 1 tsp oil and a pinch of salt

Plate up

  • Check your prawns are cooked through; they should be opaque, firm and steaming hot
